Currently the City’s newest park at Hollister & Kellogg Avenues in Old Town is under construction and will be completed in spring of 2019. It will be a wonderful asset to the community offering a number of amenities for all ages to enjoy, including open space, picnic shelters, playground structures, walking paths, game tables, a skate park and more. The City recently held a park naming contest and received over 300 entries! City Council will receive a recommendation of the new park name at the October 16th meeting. Click here to learn more about this terrific new park.The City is also focused on pedestrian safety in Old Town. We have added or improved two crosswalks on Hollister Avenue (in front of the Goleta Valley Community Center and at Orange Avenue) and replaced deteriorated sidewalk or added new sidewalk along both sides of Magnolia Avenue from Hollister Avenue south to Gaviota Street. Other pedestrian projects include the Hollister Avenue Complete Streets Corridor Project and the Old Town Sidewalk Infill Project. Learn more about each of these projects at www.cityofgoleta.org/projects-programs/pedestrian-improvements. We encourage you to get involved.
